The day the university released the family placement positions for doctoral graduates, I went straight to the Human Resources Office to register. But the staff member barely looked up before rolling their eyes. "Mr. Slater, everyone at this university knows you cheated on your wife and are about to leave the marriage with nothing. How do you still have the nerve to ask about the placement position?" I thought there had been some kind of misunderstanding. I rushed home, hoping to explain everything to my wife, only for my mother to slap me across the face. "I don't have a shameless son like you. Get out of Natalie's house!" I was driven back to the rural school where I had spent the past

And yet, not going wasn’t an option . I traced the crest on the cover with my thumb, my mind racing. I could take the northern ridge, slip past the borders and embark on a wild search. Or return to the last settlement and find a clue… In the silence that followed the last thought, I got my answer. Returning to the last scene. I wrapped the book up and stood only to bump into Julian. His eyes narrowed down to the book which I was slipping into my trouser before he looked at me. “You’ve been sitting all alone and talking to yourself. What are you planning?”

They went back on a Saturday morning. No announcement. No ceremony. Just Neo saying at breakfast on Friday night — toast, kitchen table of the quiet north side property, Atlanta doing its evening thing outside "I think we should go back tomorrow." She looked at him. "To the mansion," he said. She looked at her toast. Thought about it.

I walked slowly but with determination on each of my steps. I got out of the hotel, walking aimlessly until I reached the main street. At first, I searched for a cab that would drive me back home, but decided against it. I don’t want to go back to my empty apartment. Going back to my apartment would only force me to wait for someone who I was sure would not come back. Oliver must be very happy to be reunited with his girl. He must have forgotten about the charity case called Veronica Miller. I reached a pedestrian crossing and decided to cross, but the strap of my sandals came out undone. Absent-mindedly, I bent to fix it.

“And cherish it.” Something passes through her. She gasps, hand flying to her mouth, eyes filling with understanding she doesn’t yet have words for. “I don’t want to go back,” she whispers. “Not to that.” “You won’t,” he says. Kieran turns back to me. The city continues outside, indifferent and intact. I returned a soul. The world moved on. But elsewhere, a line had been crossed. Not by me. By him.

Outraged, they came to the infirmary to confront Vincent again and again. One day, when I passed by, Lucy's daughter stopped me with a complicated expression. She gave a long sigh. "We never had accidents like this when you were here... Lily, if only you'd come back." I didn't say much. I just gave her a gentle smile and a few words of comfort. But deep down, my decision was firm—I would never return to the place that had once torn me apart. Later, I heard that the same group of old werewolves who once forced me into a corner had now smashed the infirmary in a fit of rage—just like they did to me.

Asher leaned forward then, elbows resting on the table as he looked at me, his usual teasing edge gone, replaced with something more careful. “We’re asking what you plan to do,” he said. “Are you going back?” There it was. Simple question. Simple answer or at least… it should have been. I opened my mouth to respond immediately, the answer already sitting there, ready, obvious. Yes. Of course I would go back. That was mine. My power, territory and my people. Everything I had built before everything went to hell. Everything I fought to reclaim. So why… Why did the word feel stuck in my throat?

I nodded, my gaze also focused beyond the car window. The scenes outside blurred as tears teetered on my lids. Silence settled heavily in the car as we traveled back toward Palo Alto. It seemed that despite all our progress, in one stupid move I’d sent us back to the beginning. With each mile, my posture remained rigid, unchanged despite the chaos of thoughts and emotions within me. Oddly, I found a strange comfort in falling back on my upbringing. When we were over halfway back toward my apartment, Nox's words shattered the stillness but did little to ease the tension. “Take Miss Collins back to the hotel.”
